… but heat networks can help • Reduce emissions • Reduce bills • Increase resilience • Increase flexibility
Greening Government
Local Authorities and heat networks The energy system is transforming and becoming more decentralised as we decarbonise. Local authorities have a key role to play. • Slide 2: energy context – decentralisation, local authority role in this
Reducing carbon, reducing cost…
